That sounds like a (serious) mechanical problem but I have no idea what it would be. After reading the thread you linked to, I'd double-check the tierod ends and other steering/suspension parts that may have been involved.

Serious maybe. The steering wheel does seem now slightly cocked to the left after the alignment. I mean I checked "things", nothing seems bent or broken. With the brakes being applied its an electrical issue caused by a mechanical one maybe. The yaw might be one way but the steering angle or abs sensor might be another. I mean with the yaw killed everything is fine. Here's the sheet...remember the passenger toe was a backwards plate so nothing crazy happened it seems.

PS the car also drove and turned fine before the alignment (minus the cocked steering wheel to the right), after 3 recalibrations the car won't turn. Something in the computer or sensor is not playing nice.
